A Loverly Buncha Coconuts Photo

Photographer’s Note

Imagine this is what you see as you lie back in your gently swaying hammock bathed by a gentle breeze and lulled by the rhythmic crash of the surf. Sound idyllic? Well, actually, you would be living very dangerously. It's best not to stand or lie under a coconut bearing palm tree. A falling coconut can seriously injure or even kill. The locals are constantly tending these trees as the coconuts also break roof tiles and damage automobiles.

Hi Dave,

Nicely composed image, great color, too.

At first I thought you were relaxing and living the Bohemian lifestyle of an ex-pat in a foreign country (which I assume you are, but do not know for sure) when you were actually risking your life for your art.

I must say, you are to be commended as a soldier for freedom of expression!

TFS!

Hello ,
I like a lot palm trees , so ...
This is a classical view , of course , but very well realized . What a pleasure to have a rest under them . But without falling coconuts .
Regards
Denis
